Lendeborg sank a crucial three-pointer in the closing moments of the game, giving the Warriors the lead. His team mounted an impressive comeback in the final quarter.

Ultimately, Golden State secured a 94-90 win, and Lendeborg deservedly earned the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award for the championship game.
